Dinner Meeting & Poster Presentations

The Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine will be holding the ninth annual Academic Evening on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016. This invitation-only event is intended to showcase departmental resident, fellow, CRNA, and junior faculty academic productivity (clinical and basic science research, case reports and education initiatives). Senior faculty members are invited to submit an abstract if they do not have junior associates in their research group.

George A. Mashour, M.D, Ph.D., is associate dean for clinical and translational research and director of the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) since October 2015. He also is the Bert N. La Du Professor of Anesthesiology Research, with additional faculty appointments in the Department of Neurosurgery and the Neuroscience Graduate Program.

He is an internationally recognized expert on the topics of consciousness, anesthetic mechanisms, and sleep. His investigations include a range of approaches, from computational modeling to animal studies to clinical trials.

Along with his editorial work and service as a NIH grant reviewer, Dr. Mashour has held key administrative posts locally, including associate director of MICHR and director and founder of the Center for Consciousness Science in the U-M Medical School. He has served as associate chair for faculty affairs in the Department of Anesthesiology and currently serves as associate chair for research.

Dr. Mashour received his medical degree and doctorate in neuroscience from Georgetown University. He was a Fulbright Scholar in neuroscience at the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, Germany, from 1998-99. He completed his internship at Harvard Medical School, postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Bonn, Germany, and residency training at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He was a fellow in neurosurgical anesthesiology at the U-M, and in 2007 was appointed assistant professor in the departments of Anesthesiology and Neurosurgery. He was named the Bert N. La Du Professor of Anesthesiology Research in 2014.

Senior research faculty should have abstracts presented by junior associates in their research group (i.e., research scientists, residents, fellows, CRNAs, or junior faculty) unless they do not have junior associates.
